I was pleased to see the shipping confirmation emails for two items I’ve sorely been missing since I moved to New York City. A bed and a desk to do work at. Obviously I’m exaggerating, I did have elevated sleep contraptions over the past few weeks (I think I’ve been in the city for almost a month). And I did have flat sufaces to mess up with my feet and put my junk on. That’s if you count the lumpy futon I occupied at my brother’s apartment, and the air mattress I’ve been currently flinging myself onto since I moved down the street. I’ve had some good nights and some not-so-good-nights.

Note to self: Always make sure air mattresses are fully inflated before sleeping on them. Tossing and turning is also not a good way to keep quiet (creeaak!).

Being that I’m a lowly student again and I’ve opted for frugality I had to turn down a few bed options. There was the four-post “arabian princess” model. The color just wasn’t right. Then there was the “greek god granite slab” model. A little too small for my tastes. And the “knife”, “shark tank”, and “MJ special” all left too much to be desired. In the end I settled for a decent ultra plush. Testing to commence shortly.

Keeping me entertained in between marathon study sessions and rainy walks to and from campus has been Joss Whedon’s Firefly: The Complete Series. I saw all kinds of promos during the show’s inital run, saw the movie, loved the movie. But I never watched the series. Big mistake. The four disc series has commentaries from all the cast members and some production staffers, including Joss Whedon himself. I have to say, it’s definitely a new favorite of mine. I’ll have to add it to my collection soon.

I really like the show’s intro song to. It’s currently stuck on loop in my brain.

Pics: The weather has been so bad I’m afraid to take the camera out of my bag. Pictures later this week for the unveiling of the new stuff.
